Guardian: Australias most important trading partners and allies, such as China, the US and the European Union are strengthening their responses to climate change. Australia will be left in the wake of these big economies (and big emitters), according to the latest Climate Council report Lagging Behind: Australia and the Global Response to Climate Change. Australias retreat from being a global leader at tackling climate change is as impressive as our recent performances at the cricket. Looking on the bright...

Business Insider: Some effects of climate change are obvious, such as warming temperatures, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels. But other impacts are more surprising. For example, climate change effects can harm food production and cause famines; alter habitats and cause mass die-offs of plants, animals and other organisms; and even threaten human health. The biggest climate-related risks vary across different regions of the world. The handy chart below, published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...
From bar fights to wars, climate change will make us more violent

Fast Coexist: As the weather gets warmer and weirder, it's going to be harder for everyone to just keep their cool. The hotter it gets, the more likely we are to kill each other. Murder rates go up in heat waves; in some countries, civil war is also more likely. In training exercises in hot weather, police are more likely to pull out a gun and fire. As the climate changes and extreme heat becomes more common, it makes sense that violent crime will become more common at all scales of destruction--from bar fights...

Cronkite News: While Arizonas most recent fire season was relatively tame, one study argues that the worst may be yet to come due to climate change. In a study titled Flammable Planet: Wildfires and the Social Cost of Carbon, the Cost of Carbon Pollution project predicts larger, more frequent, more intense and more costly wildfires around the world by 2050 with the American Southwest being affected in particular. Using current projections for warming temperatures and other factors, the study puts a price...

Climate Change Disrupts Bees Pollination of Flowers

Guardian: Sexual deceit, pressed flowers and Victorian bee collectors are combined in new scientific research which demonstrates for the first time that climate change threatens flower pollination, which underpins much of the world's food production. The early spider orchid and miner bee, that depend on each other for reproduction, have become increasingly out of sync as spring temperatures rise, research has shown. The work used museum records stretching back to 1848 to show that the early spider orchid...
